Funny how socialism has already been tried and failed in just about every corner of the globe now. Yet they still prop up their strawman called “capitalism” (Marx and Engels devised the term “capitalist system” to make it seem like something that was all-pervasive), which is really the free market and privately-owned enterprise versus state ownership and “redistribution” from the top.

The term Capitalism was invented by its enemies. I think Proudhon ("all property is theft.") invented the term. I think the "Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism" suggested the term propertyism to describe Capitalism.
